Nine members of the Milford FFA chapter went to Indianapolis in late October for the 95th National FFA Convention.
Four of the members, Sophia Pierce, Autumn Wissenburg, Nolan Eickhoff and Conner Kohout, represented Nebraska at the national forestry competition Oct. 26. The team earned this opportunity in April at the state envirothon after placing third overall and first in the forestry division.
The success hasn’t stopped there, as Milford placed first at district land judging and qualified for state for the 10th consecutive year. Meanwhile, Conner Kohout, Nolan Eickhoff, Jay Wissenburg and Brody Mach fought their way to seventh place.
Members of the chapter also participated in range judging earlier in the year, and they continued their competitions with livestock judging Nov. 2.
However, competitions aren’t Milford FFA’s only interest. Every month, the chapter holds a meeting, many of which include fun activities.
The kickoff meeting in August served members and interested parties with the annual barbecue and conducted a water balloon-throwing contest for a chance to win free dues.
